Short answer: A dull document such as an article of law becomes readable if you turn it into a narrated video that quotes every piece of information from its own sentence: the period and the condition do not get lost in the crowd, they appear on screen with the original line from the document. The quotes on this page are taken from laws in force; this is not legal advice.
Real text: The quotes on this page were taken word for word from the text of Law 6502 on Consumer Protection and Labour Law 4857 (mevzuat.gov.tr). The team built the scene plans of the videos on these subjects on the home page by hand. This is not legal advice. The English lines under the Turkish quotes are our own rendering, not an official translation.
Why are documents like laws and contracts skipped over unread?
Short answer: The articles are long, the language is formal, and the important information (a period, a condition, an exception) is lost in the crowd. When you upload such a document, Zıpır turns it into a narrated video that quotes each piece of information from its own sentence; on screen you see both the narration and the original line from the document.
The “What you upload” strip on the home page has an assignment, legislation, a law, a manual, an encyclopedia, a consumer right and a recipe. Each card plays a video of that kind of document, and where the document comes from is written under the strip. It gives no advice and takes no decisions. Zıpır turns what is written in the document into a readable, watchable narration.
How is a consumer right explained in a video?
Short answer: The video follows the article paragraph by paragraph and shows each paragraph on screen with its own line. Article 48 of Law 6502 says that in a distance contract the consumer has a right of withdrawal within fourteen days.
“Tüketici, on dört gün içinde herhangi bir gerekçe göstermeksizin ve cezai şart ödemeksizin sözleşmeden cayma hakkına sahiptir.”
6502 sayılı Tüketicinin Korunması Hakkında Kanun, m.48/4
In English (our rendering): “The consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract within fourteen days without giving any reason and without paying a penalty.” Source: Law 6502 on Consumer Protection, art. 48(4).
The exception comes the same way: quoted from its own paragraph. According to the same article, if the consumer is not informed about the right of withdrawal as required, they are not bound by the fourteen-day period for using it. The viewer sees on screen which paragraph is being talked about; they are not left behind a rewritten summary. When you upload your own contract the same method works: where the period, the price, the deposit and the condition for ending it come from stays on screen. The video does not interpret the legal consequence of a clause in a contract, it only shows what it says.
How is an employment-law article explained in a video?
Short answer: The video shows the main rule of the article first, then its numbers. In article 53 of Labour Law 4857, annual paid leave cannot be less than fourteen, twenty and twenty-six days, depending on length of service.
“Yıllık ücretli izin hakkından vazgeçilemez.”
4857 sayılı İş Kanunu, m.53
In English (our rendering): “The right to annual paid leave cannot be waived.” Source: Labour Law 4857, art. 53.
Each rule is quoted from its line in the document and its source stays on screen. The result is not legal advice: for your own situation the current text of the law and an expert's opinion are what count. Zıpır turns what the document says into a traceable narration and does not take the decision for you. Documents such as payslips or account statements contain personal information; before you upload yours you can remove the parts you do not need.
Which documents can I upload?
Short answer: PDF, Word (DOCX), Markdown and plain text. A PDF can have at most 300 pages and a file at most 50 MB; the upload rules are explained on the Uploading documents page of the help centre.
The example documents written by the Zıpır team carry the label “Example document: written by the Zıpır team”. For public texts the source and the date it was accessed are written (Credits). When you upload your own document it is not used to train models; it is kept until you delete it, you can delete it whenever you like, and when you do, the source file, the scene plan and the audio are deleted too. At the end of every video a proof report that shows the source is produced. If your document has personal information about someone else, it is a good idea to think about that before you upload it.
